Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02078177A1] In signal sources with high impedance, generally a capacitive signal source , such as capacitor microphone capsules, amplifying circuits are generally used which, along with the actual amplifier having a high-resistance, non-inverting input, also comprise means for coupling signals and for determining operating points. In order to adjust the operating point of the signal source and the amplifier, separate bias sources are provided which are respectively coupled to the signal source or the non-inverted input of the amplifier via a mutual impedance. At least one coupling capacitance is situated in the signal path between the signal source and the non-inverting input of the amplifier. In order to increase noise considerably using one such amplifying circuit, without the disadvantage of very high idle times, the mutual impedances are formed from a non-linear resistance (D1, D2 or D3, D4) and an ohmic resistance (R3 or R4) respectively connected in series thereto. Furthermore, the output signal (S2) of the amplifier (IC1) or a signal derived therefrom is coupled back to the mutual impedances (D1, D2, R3 or D3, D4, R4) via a second or third coupling capacitance (C3 or C4).
